Panthers' Greer Stands Tall as They Edge Sabres in Thrilling 4-3 Victory
In a back-and-forth affair, the Florida Panthers edged out the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Monday night, thanks in large part to A.J. Greer's impressive two-goal performance. The Panthers have now won their second straight game, marking a crucial turn of events for the team as they close out a six-game road trip.
Greer's goal-scoring spree began in the first period when he put Florida up 2-1 with his initial tally. He then notched an empty-net goal in the third to seal the win and make it two goals in as many games this season. Sam Reinhart also chipped in with a power-play goal at 2:30 of the first period, giving the Panthers an early lead.
However, the Sabres refused to back down. They leveled the score at 1-1 midway through the opening frame before Buffalo took the lead again at 17:57 of the second period. Jacob Bryson's goal cut Florida's deficit in half, and the teams went into the third level on the scoreboard.
That's when Lundell stepped up for the Panthers, scoring the go-ahead goal at 11:07 of the third. Greer then sealed the win with his empty-net goal at 18:46. However, the Sabres refused to concede defeat and pulled within one goal before time expired.
The Panthers have now won two straight games, marking a significant shift in momentum for the team. Sergei Bobrovsky made 20 saves between the pipes to help secure the victory. The Sabres lost their second game in 15 outings, leaving them searching for answers after a disappointing display.
As the Panthers head into Friday's matchup against Carolina, they'll be looking to maintain their winning form and build on this momentum. Meanwhile, the Sabres will look to bounce back from this loss and continue their five-game homestand against Philadelphia on Wednesday.

i'm lovin' A.J. Greer's performance tonight, he's on fire 
! 2 goals in as many games, yeah he's definitely a player to watch out for now! 
and that empty-net goal at the end was pure magic 
. the sabres put up a good fight but gotta give it to greer and the panthers team effort 
. this win is super crucial for them heading into their next game against carolina, they need to keep that momentum going 
. meanwhile, the sabres are struggling a bit, they've lost 2 games in 15 outings, gotta find a way to turn it around 
!
his two goals sealed the deal 4 the panthers & now they're on a roll 
i'm lovin it wen teams can come back from behind & still manage 2 win its all about the momentum & i think greer's goal-scoring spree is just wot the panthers needed 2 turn their season around 
. Like, I get it, he scored some sick goals and all, but let's be real, that Buffalo Sabres team was just waiting for him to screw up so they could pounce on it 
. And don't even get me started on Sergei Bobrovsky, 20 saves is cute and all, but what about the rest of his game? He looked kinda...off 
. I mean, I know the Panthers needed a win, but did they really need to rely on Greer to carry them like that? It's just so predictable 
.
. I mean, you gotta feel bad for the Sabres, they had some solid chances too, but Lundell and Greer just clicked at the right time for Florida 
️, sabres are just having an off night, u gotta give it to the panthers, they played as a team and got that crucial win 
, bobrovsky was on fire btw 
Just saw that another massive oil spill is going to hit our coastlines in a few days and it's gonna be a real disaster 
. Can't believe our leaders aren't doing more to prevent this from happening. We're already running out of time, guys...
